By Joanie Jacobson Federation public relations director Sharee and Murray Newman have announced the establishment of the Murray H. and Sharee C. Newman Supposing Foundation for the benefit of the Jewish Federation of Omaha, Inc., designed to further the purposes of the Federation. .' •' The Newman Supporting Foundation, with initial funding of $100,000, is administered b/a seven-member Board of Trustees. Harlan Noddle serves as president; Sharee C. Newman, vice president and Lisa Lewis is secretarytreasurer. Also serving are Dt^vid L. Friedman, chairman of the Foundation of the Federation; Jay Lemer, vice president of the Federation; Dr. Patricia Newman anid Murray Newman. "Our ultimate goal and wish is to fund this supporting foundation with sufficient dollars toendow our annual campaign gifts in perpetuity during our lifetime," said Mr. Newman. According to Jerold Rosen, Endowment director, "A supporting foundation is recognized as a public charity under Federal tax law and is appropriate when a donor wishes to establish a substantial fund and perpetuate its separate identity. The donor and/or family members may be Trustees of a supporting foundation and may participate in the decision-making process regarding (fistribution of funds. "The nuyority of Trustees, however, are appointed by the Federation, as ultimate control must remain with the Federation as represented by these Trustees. "A supporting foundation to benefit the Jewish Federation of Omaha provides the d<Hior with the maxiimiT" charitable deduction, freedom from restriction on private foundations and the opportunity for famUy vav^mt to play a direct and continuing role is chtrimhla gMag." "We are confident that 60 or 100 years mun today, our Jewish Federation will continue to perform the needed services of the day," said Mr. Newman, "and with the control of these doUara permanenUy vested within the Federation, Sharee and I are comfortable that the priorities will be properly addressed." Mrs. Newman explained that, "By doing tfaia now, while we are here and part of this community, we can eqjoy, first-
Share* and Murray Newman hand, seeing the benefits of our dollars. At the same time, we can feel assured that good things will be accomplished in the years to come for the Omaha Jewish community.

"Sharee and I feel strongly about bow perfectly this vehicle satisfies our personal needa," added Mr. Newman. "We would urge others who are able to consider the establishment their own supporting foundation to similarly endow their current participation in the Jewish Federation -of Omaha Can^>aigh."

Space-age techniques being used to decipher ancient scrolls A standing ovation It's common practice for thoae who apinckte a good per formance to stand and ai^ud while showing their delight. Since it would not be practical for mqife than 2,000 men, women and children to stand and applaud at this very. • moment, let this editorial serve as a standing ovation. : Thoee on the receiving end of the ovation would be all ' of the chairmen, their co-chairmen, and the hundreds of volunteers who put together a sensational party to celebrate the modem State of Israel's 40th birthday. There was something for everybody. Once visitors'overcame the lack of parking spaces, they were able to wander about the Jewish Community Center and its grounds taking in a cornucopia of activity. The weatherman cooperated beautifully giving us, some say, the best-weathered day of the year so far, and even the infant^ seemed to be caught up in the spirit of the occasion—tfeeir eyes opened wide as if they were absorbing Jewish atmospheric conditions. And there was plenty of Jewish atmosphere, a recreated Jerusalem street, booths filled with art, education, and entertainment, and plenty of kosher food. For dessert, a gigantic cake from Henry Monsky Lodge of B'nai B'rith—enough calories for hundreds of eager eaters—and for everyone's special taste ... Singers . .. dancers .. , entertainers .. . games ,.. rides... pets... Vaudeville... fashions... exhibits... boat rides... and on and on, certainly a day of events that will linger in the memories of all who participated. We don't know how much this party cost, but a pretty shekel must have been involved. So, on behalf of the community, let's thank also the nice pe(^le at the Carl Prohm Memorial Foundation, the Esther K. Newman Fund and the Jewish Federation of Omaha for funding this program. To all who gave of themselves for this special day, please accept this message as your personal standing ovation ... you deaerve it.
Happy Birthday

By Hngh Orgel (Copyright 1968, Jcwiah Telegraphic Agency, Inc.) TEL AVIV — Photographic technitpies developed in part by the NASA space program in the United States are now being used for the first time at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem in order to decipher one of the Dead Sea Scrolls, which has never before been fully decoded. Speaking to Israel Government Press Office correspondent Robert Rees about the three-member American research team that began work this month on the uniqu»project at the Israel Museum, Shrine of the Book curator Magen Broshi says "there is no doubt that their work will enhance our knowledge of this precious scroll." The scroll in question, one of 800 that comprise the Dead Sea Scrolls, is the Genesis-Apocryphon Scroll. It measures approximately seven feet long and is inscribed in Aramaic, # unlike the overwhehning majority of Dead Sea Scrolls, which are written in Hebrew. The scroll was one of seven originally found inside cave No. 1 at Qumran by a Bedouin shepherd in 1947. Of these seven scrolls, the Genesis-Apocryphon Scroll is the worst preserved. The bottom of the ^croll apparently had been resting on the floor of the cave, which most likely exposed the lower one-third of the scroll to dampness. At the same time, the top third of the scroll was dried out by the accumulated effect of 2,000 years of desert climate.
The Genesis-Apocryphon Scroll Is the worst preserved. "Part of the Genesis-Apocryphon Scroll waa lost forever," according to James Charlesworth, Princeton Theological Seminary professor of New Testament languages, who is heading the American research' team. The scroll "either melted away on top, or crumbled on the bottom. Due to the extensive damage. Dead Sea Scroll scholars in the 1960s despaired of ever being able to translate this particular scroll," he says. Charlesworth, whose team has just completed its work and flown back to the United States, is working alongside Bruce and Ken Zuckerman, two brothers from southern California. Bruce Zuckerman, as assistant professor at the University of Southern California and the director of that school's West Semitic Research Project, is considared by knowledgeable sources to be one of the most gifted manuscript photographers in the world. It la not the fint time the team has utiliiad the advanced, "space-age" techniques, which they are the first to apply to their fiield. The team previously undertook a project in 1986 in which th^ employed the same breakthrough techniquea to deciphw the oldest and most voluabla copy of the Old Syriac Gotpela, kept at St. Katherine'a Monastery in SinaL Tha system itself, called "image enhancamant," was essentially pionewed by NASA soginser Don Lynn, head of the space agency's Uranus Fly-by Project. A vary rudimantaiy deacr^>Uon of the technique: Aftw extensive photogrsphy involviog special film, finished data is fed into computers, which bsdieally "cpnnect the dots." In othat words, tha computers ore c^iable of fleshinffout lettsrs, words and complete l^nes whidi are so minute and objKure that the human eye is incapable of de-. ciphering them. Moveover, the computer is able to recovei; thoes imsgea that scribes 2,000 years ago «rased and wrote over. In short, the same "space-ag? technology" that is being used to photograph inorganic and living matter on other planets Is DOW being ussd to dedpber the originsl language of prioolsss documents from over 2,000 years ago. It should b* rscallad that whOs nearly aU of the 800 Dead 8sa Scrolls are at the Israel and RocksltUar museums, only sight are actually on display at tha Israel Museum's Shrine of the Book.

darkness in the vaults, which eliminates all ultra-violet rays. Hagen BrosU, a field archaeologist and historian by trainbig, who has been curator of the Shrine of the Book since it first opened in 1966, notes that "of the 800 scrolls, perhaps a dozen are of considerable size. Most of the 800 are in a reasonably good state of preservatioo, though they are very fragmentary. The Genesis-Apocrjrphon Scroll is in the worst state of oil .800." With one notable exception, the Dead Sea Scrolls have not left Joiisalem in 20 years. The exception, is at the present moment, with one of the scrolls now part of an 18-month exhibition entitled "Treasures of the Holy Land," which was previously on display at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Los Angeles County Museum, and Houston's Museum of Fine Arts. The exhibition is scheduled to opAi shortly at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto before its return home to Israel later this year. The exhibition, notes Broshi, is the largest archaeological display ever to travel from Israel and includes several hundred of Israel's choicest archaeological artifacts. The American research team averaged seven hours of work per day during its 12 work days in Israel. Charlesworth ia markedly optimistic that the team will succeed in fully deciphering the text once the film is developed and analyzed in the United States. Brpce Zuckerman stresses that the group's work, "is essentially an exploratory project. We are utilizing ultramodem photograph equipment which did not exist 40 years ago. The first use of infrared, for example, in the 1960s, made it possible to interpret some of the Dead Sea Scrolls which had earlier eluded decipherment. Our team's work is unique in that it combines both technical skills and academic training." In regard to their work on the Genesis-Apocryphon Scroll, Charlesworth says that "what is particularly distfessing is the fact that there is a contmuum of holes in the same place as the ink. This indicates that there must have been a particularly destructive acid in the ink, which ate right through the leather scroll. This is a rare, though not unparalleled, phenomenon among the Dead Sea Scrolls." Charlesworth notes that the difficulties involved in successfully interpreting the Genesis-Apocryphon Scroll are substsntiol, though far from insurmount^le. "Parts of the scroll are very wet and the leather is actually turning into liquid. Moveover, this is the one scroll that is continuing to deteriorate, this despite the fact it's being kept in a special vault."

hllghts of NCJVy annual meeting
ssinger blasts conference By EUi Wohlgden^ter ^fEW YORK (JTA) Taking a left-handed swipe at the Raagan administration's Middk Bast peace efforts, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger said last week that an international peace conference "is the most dangerous forum for Israel" and that the United States can only wind up "being caught between m parties." At the same time, Kissinger chastised Israel for not presenting a unified point of view on its options for peace. "One cannot ask for Amoican support if Israeli political leaders present to Americans a smorgasbord of incompatible options and fight their political battle on American soil by dividing up different groups of the Jewish community, and the nOB-Jewish community, in support of totally conflicting points of view,'' he said. Though not mentioning Secretary of State Qeorge Sbultc's plan by name, Kisringer said that involving the Soviet Unkn in an international conference runs coudter to American interests. "The pmnanant objective of the Soviet Union in the Middle Best, and the Russian empire before it, hu always boen diametrically opposed to thoee of the
Western Democracies; and even if you believe that (Soviet leader Mikhail) Gorbachev is a reformer, what he's trying to reform is the Soviet economy." -An international conference, he said, would not be just a one-time gathering. "The idea that a conference can be assembled, which then sets off Israel and the Arabs for direct talks after which the conference is never heard from again, is, in my view, totally naive." Such a conference, Kissinger said, "is the most dangerous forum for Israel; it is the most dangerous forum for the Unit«l States; and ib can only wind up with the United States being caught between all parties and Israel being pressured in a direction that it cannot respect." Speaking at a $l,000-aplate American-Jewish Committee dinner, Kissinger outlined the varying Arab positions on negotiations: The more moderate view, which calls for Israel's withdrawal to the 1067 borders; the radical posture, which does not defibe bordiers and calls for the application of all United NaUons rasolutions, "which in effect means the 1947 borders"; and the stance of the False-

tine Liberation Organization, which "has never brought itself to accept any borders with IsraeL" Europesn countries, Kissinger said, agree that there should be a solution based on the 1967 borders and with the Old City of Jerusalem, and "that is also the formal position of the Soviet Union." That solution, however, would create a corridor of nine miles between Haifa and Tel Aviv, and three miles between Jerusalem and Td Aviv, "and I have known nobody who believes this solution is compatible with the security or survival of Israel," the statesman said. "This being the case, why does one want an international conference? What does one expect to happen at an international conference? Why go to a conference in which the positions of all the parties are known, and in which the United SUtes wHl eitho'be isolated with Israel, if it supports the Israeli position, or pressured to abandon its support of the IWHU position?" KiasingBr asksd. Hs painted out that any progress that harbew made so far in the Middle EMt, he saU, "has beeo achieved under American aegis," and that cooceesions are better made tbrougfa the United States than an intsraatiaoal torum.

He said a dialogue should take place between the United Statee and Israai "to dstermhM what part ot the Weet Bank, and m my view, all of Qasa, can be given t»ck."

Soviets seek spy's release By Gil Sedan JERUSALEM (JTA) Israeli officials refused to comment on reports that Israel and the Soviet Union were negotiating for the release of a Jewish emigre serving an 18-year prison sentence in Israel as a Soviet spy. The i-eport in the West Qerman daily Die Wdt said the case of Professor Markus Klinkberg, reportedly sentenced in 1983, was discussed by Foreign Minister Shimon Peres ' with Soviet officials whom he met in Madrid last week while attending a meeting of the Socialist International Council.
NCJW volunteer Dory Gerber, NCJW's volunteg of the month, haa worked on fund ^-aising for Labels Unlimited and typed grants and letters for NCJW. Her other volunteer activities have included serving as president of B'nai B'rith Women as well as having served on committees at the regional and national level. Mrs. Gerber has entertained with the New Image _ Quartet and with the Sweet Adelines chorus. Mrs. Gerber is the executive director of the March of Dimes. She works at the Jewish Community Center as executive secretary to the director. Among her leisure time activities, Mrs. Gerber enjoys writing and participating in skits, singing, theater and travel. She and her husband, Marvin, have a son, Gary, a daughter, Judy Feigin, and a granddaughter, Lauren Feigin.
According to Die Welt, Klinkberg's release was Moscow's precondition for restofing noimal rektions with Israel. The 60-year-old biologist came to Isrsel ss an emigrant bom the Soviet Union. He waa dnuty director general of the Biological Institute in Ness Ziona. According to Die Welt, hia frequent trips to Switzerland for "medical reasons" were a cover for contacts with Soviet Bgents.

WEST HAVEN, Conn.

Anti-Somitic skigans and swaatikaa scrawled on the rear of tha building indicated a racial motive. The Uaie gutted the rabbi's study, the synagogue (^oe, the chapel, a foyer and other rocma. But the main sanftu.ary waa spared, including the Toraha and other religious articles. According to the fire mar shal, Dq>uty Chief William Muldey, the blaze was definitdy arson.

Whatever you^ weakness is, the remedies are to be found wherever plants are sold, lite only problem is how much space you have to devote to such beauty.
